Abstract
: This study was conducted to evaluate the remineralization potential of Remin Pro Forte Vs
Remin Pro remineralizing agents on white spot lesions (WSLs) post-orthodontic treatment.
Methodology: 20 patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups by treatment (n=10): (1) a
3-months regimen of a cream containing Fluoride, hydroxyapatite, xylitol, Ginger, Curcuma (Remin
Pro Forte) as intervention group; (2) a 3-months regimen of a cream containing hydroxyapatite and
fluoride, xylitol (Remin Pro) as control group. The main outcomes including caries regression
(assessed by ICDAS II), mineral content (assessed by Vistacam IX camera), and color of WSLs
(assessed by digital image analysis by Adobe photoshop) were measured at enrolment and 1, 2, and
3 months later, respectively. Mann Whitney test used to compare between tested groups. The
statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.
Results: Over a 3‑months period, the application of both Remin Pro Forte and Remin Pro caused
significantly greater caries regression and significantly higher increase in mineral content of WSLs
(P<0.05). But between-group difference in mineral content of WSLs failed to achieve statistical
significance (P=0.414). The appearance of WSLs improved significantly in both experimental groups
(P< 0.05).
Conclusion: The application of either Remin Pro Forte or Remin Pro was effective in caries
regression, increasing the mineral content and improving the appearance of demineralized enamel,
indicating that these products could be recommended for managing post-orthodontic WSL
